How has COVID-19 affected Whim?

The safety of our users is our top priority!

COVID-19 has affected every one of us, changing how we live in ways we never could have anticipated.

At Whim we believe we all share the same feeling… we miss getting out, and we encourage our users to promote that through sharing content that anyone can enjoy, safely. This is where our “Covid-19” search filter comes in, helping you avoid long lines and crowds.
